  • Ireland and Latin America: a Cultural History
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2010 Ireland and Latin America: a cultural history Murray, Edmundo Abstract: According to Declan Kiberd, “postcolonial writing does not begin only when the occupier withdraws: rather it is initiated at that very moment when a native writer formulates a text committed to cultural resistance.” The Irish in Latin America – a continent emerging from indigenous cultures, colonisation, and migrations – may be regarded as colonised in Ireland and as colonisers in their new home. They are a counterexample to the standard pattern of identities in the major English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using literary sources, the press, correspondence, music, sports, and other cultural representations, in this thesis I search the attitudes and shared values signifying identities among the immigrants and their families. Their fragmentary and wide-ranging cultures provide a rich context to study the protean process of adaptation to, or rejection of, the new countries. Evolving from oppressed to oppressors, the Irish in Latin America swiftly became ingleses. Subsequently, in order to join the local middle classes they became vaqueros, llaneros, huasos, and gauchos so they could show signs of their effective integration to the native culture, as seen by the Latin American elites. Eventually, some Irish groups separated from the English mainstream culture and shaped their own community negotiating among Irishness, Englishness, and local identities in Brazil, Uruguay, Peru, Cuba, and other places in the region. These identities were not only unmoored in the emigrants’ minds but also manoeuvred by the political needs of community and religious leaders.

Paradoxically, the Irish who emigrated to Argentina, a former Spanish colony, may be regarded (as they regarded themselves) as colonised in the country they left, and as colonisers of their new home. Their case is one of the better counterexamples to the typical pattern of identities in most of the English-speaking destinations of the Irish Diaspora. Using fictional works as primary documents, in this dissertation I search the identities represented in John Brabazon's Memoirs, Kathleen Nevin's You'll Never Go Back, and William Bulfin's Tales of the Pampas. Brabazon memoirs were translated into Spanish, annotated and published in 1981 by Irish-Argentine genealogist Eduardo Coghlan. Kathleen Nevin's novel include the fictionalised biography of her mother, who emigrated to Buenos Aires in the 1870s.

  • The Argentine Newspapers and the Easter Rising
    Estudios Irlandeses, Number 11, 2016, pp. 56-68 __________________________________________________________________________________________ AEDEI “Dublin Traitors” or “Gallants of Dublin” The Argentine Newspapers and the Easter Rising Mariano Galazzi Universidad Austral, Argentina Copyright (c) 2016 by Mariano Galazzi. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged for access. Abstract. The Easter Rising was a turning point in contemporary Irish history. Although it lasted for a few days, from Monday 24 to Saturday 29 April, 1916, it had great impact in Ireland itself, and it also aroused considerable interest in many other countries, particularly in those with a significant Irish community, as in the case of Argentina. The aim of this paper is to study the way in which the contemporary Argentine graphic media (published in Spanish and in English) presented and commented about the events that took place in Dublin. While it will try to contribute to the knowledge of the global echoes of the Easter Rising, this analysis will seek to help in a better understanding of the ideas of the English-speaking groups in Argentina, and particularly of the Irish community in that country, a group formed mainly by Argentine-born people of Irish descent. Key Words. Easter Rising, 1916, Irish Diaspora, Argentina, Newspapers Resumen. El Levantamiento de Pascua marcó un hito en la historia contemporánea de Irlanda. Aunque duró unos pocos días, del lunes 24 al sábado 29 de abril de 1916, tuvo un gran impacto en la misma Irlanda y despertó un considerable interés en muchos otros países, particularmente en aquellos con una comunidad irlandesa importante, como en el caso de la Argentina.

  • The Evolution of the Hurling Club Into a Wide-Ranging Irish-Argentine Institution (1920-1980)
    Irish Migration Studies in Latin America Catholic, Male and Working-class: The Evolution of the Hurling Club into a Wide-Ranging Irish-Argentine Institution (1920-1980) By Ronnie Quinn Game of hurling in Mercedes, 1917 (Hurling Club collection) The Hurling Club of Buenos Aires presents an eloquent case study for the researcher of Diasporic Irish identities. Established by an initial group of enthusiastic young men - most of them with Roman Catholic and urban middle-class backgrounds - the Club never attracted the traditional rural population of wealthier Irish immigrants or their families. With the support of Roman Catholic missionaries to the Irish in Argentina, hurling was introduced in this country by the writer William Bulfin and other nationalists shortly after the foundation of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Ireland. This article is an account of the different events that led to the foundation of the Club, and its further development from the restricted Irish Catholic social circle of employees of the British companies in Buenos Aires to its current status as an inclusive and prominent supporter of rugby, field hockey and other sports. slowly eroded. Archbishop Croke of Cashel, a Introduction leading member of the Irish Roman Catholic From the mid-1850s, there was a rapid spread in hierarchy, voiced his indignation ‘by the ugly Ireland of organised sports of English origin, in and irritating fact that we are importing from particular cricket.

  • Sinead Wall E-Thesis 18.12.13
    1 Irish Diasporic Writing in Argentina, 1845-1907: A Reconsideration of Emigrant Identity Sinéad Wall Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies University College London I, Sinéad Wall, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Sinéad Wall 2 Abstract Departure from Ireland has long occupied a contradictory position in Irish national discourse, alternatively viewed as exile or betrayal. This thesis analyses how this departure as well as notions of home, identity and return are articulated in the narratives of three members of the Irish diaspora community in Argentina: John Brabazon’s journal The Customs and Habits of the Country of Buenos Ayres from the year 1845 by John Brabazon and His Own Adventures ; Kathleen Nevin’s fictional memoir, You’ll Never Go Back (1946); and William Bulfin’s series of sketches for The Southern Cross newspaper, later published as Tales of the Pampas (1900) and Rambles in Eirinn (1907). I examine the extent to which each writer upholds or contests hegemonic constructions of Irishness and how their experience in the diaspora space, that is, what Avtar Brah defines as ‘the intersectionality of diaspora, border and dis/location as a point of confluence of economic, political, cultural and psychic processes’ as well as their encounters with other inhabitants of that space influence identity construction. Drawing on Brah’s notion of home as both a ‘mythic place of desire’ and ‘lived experience of a locality’, I explore how these writers imaginatively construct Irishness and negotiate the dual identity of emigrant and potential returnee.

  • The Irish in Latin America and Iberia. an Annotated Bibliography
    The Irish in Latin America and Iberia: An Annotated Bibliography By Edmundo Murray First published in Irish Migration Studies in Latin America (www.irlandeses.org) in April 2003 and updated until October 2007. Some later published book-length studies have been added in 2019. This bibliography includes books, book chapters, articles, documentaries and websites grouped in geographic areas: Latin America (general); Central America; The Caribbean; Argentina; Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru; Brazil; Colombia and Venezuela; Mexico; Paraguay and Uruguay; Portugal and Spain. Thematic lists include: San Patricio Batallion; Eliza Lynch (1835-1886); William Brown (1777-1857). Some entries repeat in more than one category. I am thankful to the late Brian McGinn for his practical help and generous encouragement with this bibliography. Many of the following bibliographical entries were first gathered by Brian for his website The Irish in South America: An Annotated Bibliography and I published them with his authorization. I would also like to express my gratitude to the following people for their support and assistance in developing this bibliography: David Barnwell, Frank Cullen, Jorge Fox, Mike Geraghty, the Reverend Jeremy Howat, Oliver Marshall, Bruce Bradley S.J., Peter Feeney and Edward Walsh.

Although it is difficult to provide an accurate account in just forty pages, the interesting information contained in Coogan's text was obtained from a variety of secondary and selected primary sources, as well as through the vast contact network of the author.
